This case study describes how a state IT office improved network security and performance by replacing limited SPAN-based monitoring with passive network taps and advanced traffic intelligence tools. The organization needed real-time, packet-level visibility to support cloud expansion, regulatory compliance, and protection against malicious activity. The new architecture aggregated and filtered traffic, automated data exports to monitoring systems, and simplified policy deployment through centralized management. After implementation, the team identified ongoing DNS attacks, optimized traffic by removing duplication, reduced operational costs, and significantly accelerated risk detection—ultimately strengthening network resilience for employees, agencies, and citizens.
